Weekends are for pancakes! I don’t know about you, but I just love a fluffy pancake on a Saturday or Sunday morning. These peanut butter pancakes are delicious and fluffy, without the guilt of refined sugar. Oh, and did I mention gluten free? Making it a perfect choice for those with gluten intolerances. It’s the best of all worlds, really! Just try them!
I make these pancakes quite regularly. They’re a huge hit in my house. Sometimes I sub the peanut butter for another filler, like blueberries, shredded coconut, or banana. You can definitely experiment with this one for a new creation each time. Just keep the base ingredients the same, and try a different filler each week!
I use a nonstick griddle to make mine, since I’m often making a double batch. It’s just faster that way. If you don’t have one, 1-2 skillets will work just fine. Just make sure to grease them if they are not a non-stick type of pan. Once you’ve made your flour from the oats and seeds, you may use a mixer to combine the remaining ingredients. Or you may also do this by hand with a whisk and a large bowl if you prefer.

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups quick cooking steel cut oats
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/2 tbsp ground flax seeds
- 1/2 tbsp hemp hearts
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp maple syrup or coconut sugar
- 2 cups unsweetened cashew milk
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1/3 cup natural smooth peanut butter
Instructions
- Turn on your non stick griddle and allow it to get hot.
- Grind the steel cut oats and all the seeds in a high powered blender until it resembles a flour consistency.
- Using a mixer, combine all the ingredients (including the flour you just made). You may also do this step with a whisk and a large bowl, however, a mixer will save you time.
- Pour a small amount of batter on your hot griddle, then, with the back of the ladle, gently spread the batter out just a little so the pancake is flatter and not as thick. (This helps with even cooking through the center of your pancake).
- Cook for 4-5 minutes or until bubbles appear over the surface of the pancake, and then flip and cook for 3-4 more minutes, until golden.
- Serve your peanut butter pancakes with sliced bananas, chocolate chips, maple syrup, strawberry jam or any of your favourite toppings!
